Kate Moss x Topshop

I think I'm in love and I think it's with a dress. And not just any dress, a dress by THE supermodel Kate Moss. I've always loved Moss from the early days of Johnny Depp romance to the later of being a supermodel and business woman extraordinaire doing the mummy thing at the same time. Sure, she's had a troubled past, what celeb hasn't? The fact that she's flipped it and built herself back up is inspiring, you know what else is in inspiring? The Kate Moss x Topshop 2014 collection. I previously blogged about some of the key pieces I loved from the line and this was one of my stand out favourites.

Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough to purchase it via Topshop so had to scour eBay and DEPOP to try and find a seller who wasn't asking for millions - maybe not millions, but some of these people do take the mick. I did pay a little more than the £75 it was worth however I see it as a steady investment, my mother did not see it this way, I'll wear it throughout summer on holiday and at a good festival - Bestival, woo!! The particular thing that drew me to this dress was the pattern, true bohemia and true Kate. It reminds me of the sixties - an era I'm passionate about - with the simple but colourful pattern and loose fit.

Teamed with my trusty black Primark sandals, individual ring I picked up on holiday in Ibiza last year and black fedora hat from ASOS I completely love this whole look and have a feeling I'll be rehashing it a lot this summer.
